Jim Colletto, the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator last season, has left the team. Colletto, who was being considered as an offensive line coach by new head coach Jim Schwartz, said it was a mutual agreement.
"I had a talk with Jim and he said he wanted someone who was going to be here (for more than one year),'' Colletto said today. Colletto, who has one year left on his deal, planned to retire following the 2009 season.
Colletto, who will return to his home in California, said he might not coach this season. "I think it's probably the end of the line for me,'' said the 64-year-old coach.
The Lions haven't made any official announcements about their position coaches yet, but there have been numerous reports that George Yarno has taken over as the offensive line coach. Also, Stan Kwan (special teams), Shawn Jefferson (receivers) and Sam Gash (running backs) are expected to return this season. A report from Rivals.com said the Lions have hired Tom Lappano to coach tight ends.
